    I was just being stupid, so somebody took advantage of me. Tried to apply for a job, hoping someone would help me with the work permit. Found one, but turned out to be a scam. I paid for the processing of the work permit, but then he asked for some more... then I searched about this person, found forums about scams and stuff... so there. I should have searched before I paid... Like I said, I wasn't using my coconut shell. sigh, you live, you learn.

    I am just looking for a job...

    Thanks anyway guys and gal(s)

    Sorry to hear of your experience, Do make sure you report it to the police. You may not get your money back, but it may save some other poor soul from the same fate. The people who do this sort of thing are scum.

    He may be in Nigeria but something may be done, even if it is only warning people, which is what you are doing right now. Don't forget we have members all over the world. Someone may know someone............

    I think you should just chalk it up as experience, be more careful and it could have been worse

    I am sorry to hear you have been scammed, not a nice thing. I hope it was not too much you paid, at least you found out before you went any further. I am afraid I don't have any children that need looking after.

    Yeah.. to experience. It shall be tacked in my brain. I wrote in my blog, though I am a little new to blogging.. still, I hope when some people search about these kinds of things, they will be directed to my blog. I shall post links to other forums as well. That I did. I even wrote an e-mail to our national tv station back home. They target "my" people!! I just hope they pay attention to it and make it part of one of their news reports or something.

    Oh, thank you for the response btw, Margaret I appreciate it.
